Our products: control and measurement instruments

Hardness testers, gear testers, metallographic machines, and non-destructive testing instruments: the measuring equipment that industry seeks.

CRASE is a leading distributor of measurement and control instruments for industry. We support companies in the automotive, energy, mechanical, steel, and foundry sectors at every stage of quality control: from selecting the right instrument to calibration and on-site technical support.

Our offerings range from benchtop and portable hardness testers to metallographic machines, from gear involute testers to optical 3D measuring machines, and even non-destructive testing instruments such as ultrasonic roughness testers and thickness gauges.

Complete range of CRASE products

Hardness testers are high-precision measuring machines used to determine the hardness of a material. Rockwell, Brinell, and Vickers hardness testers are used for quality control laboratories and production departments. These instruments precisely measure the hardness of metals according to the main durometer scales, suitable for both small and large parts.

CRASE portable hardness testers are available in Leeb, UCI ultrasonic, Rockwell, Brinell, and other models. The portable hardness tester allows you to perform hardness tests directly in the workshop, on fixed structures, or on large components.

Specialized analyzers for measuring hardness depth after heat treatments such as carburizing, tempering, and nitriding, without the need for sectioning, embedding, or polishing the part. The HTD1500, HTD4000, and HTD30 instruments, based on the patented Ernst principle, provide accurate results while preserving component integrity and dramatically reducing testing times.

Complete equipment for metallographic analysis: cutting machines, mounting machines, polishing machines, and consumables useful for metallographic examination. For laboratories that prepare and analyze metal cross-sections according to high quality standards.

Metrology instruments for measuring and inspecting gears. The GMM gear measuring machines, distributed by CRASE and manufactured by MDM Metrosoft, enable a wide range of measurements to be performed automatically and with high precision. The main applications are in the aeronautics, automotive, and precision mechanics sectors.

Manual, CNC, and instant video measuring systems for fast and precise dimensional inspection of components and small parts in quality control processes. Often used in high-resolution 3D measurement for the aerospace and mechanical engineering industries, where measurement accuracy is a process requirement, not a choice.

Non-destructive testing instruments

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a quality test performed on materials and components without altering or damaging them. It is essential in the industrial sector to verify the absence of defects and compliance with current regulations.

Ultrasonic or digital thickness gauges for measuring the thickness of metals, coatings, and pipe walls without requiring access to both surfaces. Portable and laboratory instruments are available for mechanical engineering, maintenance, and quality control of production parts.

Portable surface roughness testers for measuring Ra, Rz, and Rq parameters. Essential for quality control of mechanical processes, surface treatments, and finishes required by technical specifications. These instruments are recognized for their effectiveness in measuring difficult-to-reach points.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a quality test performed on finished materials and components without altering or damaging them. CRASE offers a complete range of instruments: Shore hardness testers, glossmeters, flaw detectors, coating testing instruments, and magnetic testing.

Certified secondhand and instruments update systems

When a new instrument is not needed, CRASE offers concrete alternatives: reconditioned used hardness testers and updating systems for existing machines.

A selection of reconditioned and certified used hardness testers, available in Rockwell, Brinell, Vickers, and universal versions. A used hardness tester is a viable option for those seeking reliable performance at a great price.

Thanks to its experience, CRASE also offers an updating and digitalization service for already installed gear measuring machines (manual, semi-automatic, and CNC), gear measuring machines for gear functional testing, and roughness testers, essential for checking the roughness of gear teeth.

When the mechanical structure is still solid but the electronics and software are obsolete, CRASE intervenes with modernization systems dedicated to durometers, gear testing machines, and tensile and spring testing machines. Up-to-date performance at low costs, without replacing the machine.
